Summary
| Description |
English: This is the disciplinary report of corporal punishment by flogging, aboard the USS John Adams 1 April to 30 June 1847. Beginning in 1846, such reports were a response to increased public and Congressional complaints about severity of naval corporal punishment. Punishments included lashing with the “Cat of Nine Tails" and the "Colt." The Secretary of the Navy set the legal limit for flogging at twelve lashes, although Courts-Martial could award more. The data for the reports was taken from the John Adams log book and record kept by the ship Master-at-Arms. These punishments were approved 30 June 1847 by order of the John Adams commanding officer, Captain William J. McCluney |

Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||||
